Onespace is proud to announce that Zoe Porter’s watercolour painting, ‘Megan at Woolloongabba,’ is a finalist for the 2025 Brisbane Portrait Prize.
Zoe Porter is an interdisciplinary artist based in Meanjin. Working across drawing, painting, installation, performance, and sculpture, her artworks often illustrate hybridised animal-human forms that merge chaos and order.
‘Megan at Woolloongabba’ is a diptych portrait of Quandamooka artist, Megan Cope, who is Porter’s friend of nearly 20 years. Porter writes, “This artwork attempts to capture both aspects of her: one side of her as the focused, determined artist in the studio, and the other as a more relaxed, dreamlike depiction of her… I’ve always admired her work and I think she’s one of the best Australian contemporary artists out there.”
The Brisbane Portrait Prize is a celebration of Brisbane portrait artists and their sitters, encouraging public engagement with arts. You can visit the finalist exhibition at L2 Gallery at the State Library of Queensland from 20 September to 9 November.
